Profile

Water's Edge has matrimony covered. The restaurant's stunning Queens-side view of Manhattan has been the backdrop for many a proposal, while the huge private party space has hosted countless wedding ceremonies. The focus is on seafood, with additional menu space reserved for local farm favorites like Hudson Valley foie gras and Long Island duck. Among the expertly prepared dishes, the bronzini is the star: a tender, de-boned Mediterranean sea bass. Though the food doesn't always transcend the immediate surroundings, shortcomings are easily lost in the million-dollar view. — Ethan Wolff
